Detailed explanation-1: -If you buy urad dal, gram, chana and moong dal in small quantities, then you can fill them in a container and keep them in the fridge. By doing this, the pulses do not spoil for a long time, and at the same time, it is protected from insects.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, using the safe storage charts, green lentils at 14 per cent moisture content and at a 20°C temperature could be safely stored for about 23 weeks, but if the temperature was cooled to 10°C, the lentils could be safely stored for 80 weeks.
Detailed explanation-3: -Silos are the ideal storage option for pulses, especially if they are cone based for easy out-loading with minimal seed damage. For anything more than short-term storage (3 months) aeration cooling and gas-tight sealable storage suitable for fumigation are essential features for best management quality control.
